Leo’s Twitter: Join me. #DemandZero now. Check out details for Countdown to Zero in your city here: http://bit.ly/gzfreeticket @globalzero.
Countdown to Zero reveals the truth behind an issue on which human survival itself hangs – the very real possibility of nuclear disaster. From the producers of An Inconvenient Truth, Countdown is a chilling wake up call about the urgency of the nuclear threat. Getting this film into theaters across the country is critical to building real momentum for a world without nuclear weapons. And if we can sell out opening weekend in each of the cities where the film is released, we’ll do just that and build the Global Zero movement from coast to coast.You can buy your tickets here, or find a free screening in your area here.
In the box office smash Inception , Leonardo DiCaprio spends most of his time inside people’s dreams. But what’s going inside DiCaprio’s head in real life? In the new issue of Rolling Stone, on sale at newsstands today, associate editor Brian Hiatt finds out. “[My stomach churns over] really stupid stuff,” DiCaprio reveals. “Things that shouldn’t make you anxious whatsoever. It’s crazy how your mind will become this database to make you worry about things that are so arbitrary. I have a well-organized life, and I’ve put a lot of thought into the things that I do, and then, you know, my stomach will be…I’ll just be sitting there, totally anxious about something ridiculous</div>

The box office has been pretty good with Leo lately.In February, “Shutter Island” delivered his biggest opening to date, with $41 million in ticket sales, and went on to gross $128 million domestically. This past weekend, “Inception” performed even better, grossing $60.4 million. So what is next for Leo? Well, here are a couple of projects that Leo could possibly be starting.
“Hoover”
Next up for Leo is the title role in Clint Eastwood’s biopic about controversial FBI director — and rumored cross-dresser — J. Edgar Hoover. The script comes from the pen of Dustin Lance Black, who won an Oscar for the Sean Penn-starring “Milk.”“The Wolf of Wall Street”
Based on a tell-all memoir, this project has been around since 2007, but it was given new life earlier this month when Martin Scorsese offered to hand over directorial duties to Ridley Scott. DiCaprio would play a stockbroker who lands in prison for refusing to cooperate in a 1990s securities-fraud case. The only question about production is timing: Leo is set for “Hoover” next and Scott is ramping up to shoot his 3-D “Alien” prequel.The Mel Gibson Viking Movie
Word about this project dropped in December of last year, and earlier this month, DiCaprio told us he couldn’t wait to be a part of Gibson’s take on “some of the most barbaric people ever in history.” But after Mel’s vicious phone conversations with girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva became public, it’s hard to imagine Leo wanting anything to do with this movie.“Travis McGee”
Oliver Stone is circling this detective story, with DiCaprio attached to star. The character is the hero of over 20 novels written by John D. MacDonald, with the first film to be adapted from 1964′s “The Deep Blue Good-by,” the first book in the series about a “salvage consultant” pulled into various adventures.“Prisoners”
DiCaprio is attached to star in this thriller as a father who kidnaps and tortures the man who kidnapped his daughter. A director has yet to be announced. File this one under “wait and see.”“The Chancellor Manuscript”
This flick would put Leo in Jason Bourne territory. Based on the novel by “Bourne” mastermind Robert Ludlum, DiCaprio would presumably star as the author of a novel about a government conspiracy theory which actually turns about to be true. “Quantum of Solace” helmer Marc Forster is attached to direct. No word yet on when production might actually begin.“Brave New World”
We haven’t heard anything about this one since last summer, when Ridley Scott and DiCaprio announced plans to bring an adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s seminal novel to the big screen. Leo is onboard as a producer with an eye on a starring role.“Sinatra”
Scorsese is putting this picture together, and word is that DiCaprio is a top candidate to play Ol’ Blue Eyes. When we asked him about the possibility earlier this year, he said, “I don’t know [if I'll play him]. I have no idea, really. That’s really up to [Scorsese] and the people involved with [Sinatra's] estate.”
Inception finished first at the box office this weekend, with $60.4 million dollars.The action tale is one of Leo’s biggest opening weekend, topping his previous best of $41.1 million for last winter’s “Shutter Island.” Inception is directed by Christopher Nolan,Nolan who directed the Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight,” which opened over the same weekend two years ago with a record $158.4 million. Coming in second, is the previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, Steve Carell’s animated hit “Despicable Me.” Inception is now playing in theaters and IMAX.
James Rocchi of MSN Movies caught up with the stars of Inception, to talk about their new mind-blowing movie. Inception is now playing in theaters and IMAX!
As many of you know, Inception premiered in theaters yesterday. Opening day, the thriller made alone $21.3 million dollars!While “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” took only $5.4 million, and “Despicable Me” with another $10 million.Others suspect the movie will make $50-55 million dollars in the three day weekend.
Leonardo DiCaprio is up for a Do Something Award for his work with the 2010 Haiti Relief Fund. That has led DiCaprio in the “2010 Do Something Award – Movie Star” category.VH1′s 2010 Do Something Awards is on Monday, July 19th in Los Angeles.
